An Agreement Over Cuba. Settled
I by Minister Wooford.
FOB. JOINT PROTECTORAT—E
Great New York Syndicate is to Have the
I Monopoly of Selling Cuban Bonds---
Filibustering to be Efi‘cctually Sup-
pressed.
Washington Jan. 29. —The cablegrams
from Madrid yesterday, said to be in-
spired by the Spanish Government and
indicating the agreement between
Spain and the United States to what
amounts to a joint protectorate ove1‘
Cuba, is not denied by the highest au-
thority ‘on such subjects in the State
Department.
The dispatch announces, in effect,
that Minister Woodford has success-
fully terminated delicate negotiations
with the Castillian Premier by which
in return for commercial concessions
in Cuba fully equal to those enjoyed
by Spain herself, the United States un-
dertakes to guarantee to mainain peace
in the island, thereby promoting the
investment of American capital there,
and advancing the material and social
pros: erity of this garden spot of the
eart’.‘
Tl .- details of the arrangement, as
far as they can be secured here, show
111: 1‘. the proposed reciprocity treaty
which will be arranged and signed in.
Washington perhaps next month, will
make trade as free between the United
States and Cuba, as it is between Cuba
and Spain.
In return for this great concession,
the United “States is relied upon to
suppress the Junta, effectually pre—
venting filibustering and have the right
uhene1 er Spain fails to protect Ameri-
can plantations and other enterprises
in Cuba to land armed forces from our
naval vessels and enforce respect.
A great syndicate formed in New
York will also be given the monopoly
of sellinnguban bonds.
Maine to Leave Havana.
'Washington Jun. Z9.——~Orders have
been prepared at the Navy Department
directing the battleship Maine from
Havana to New Orleans to attend the
Mardi Gras celebration on Feb. 22. Ad—
miral Sicard will also detach the bat-
tleship Texas from his squadron and
assign her to the same duty. The
Maine will leave Havana 011 Feb. 15.
She will be succeeded there by one of
the other ships under Admiral Sicard,
to whom the selection will be left. It
is understood here that a. small cruiser,
probably the Montgomery, will take
the place, of the Maine.

. GEN. BRAGG CREATES A STIR. r
.-
Be ‘Resents \Vhat He Terms Unholy A1-
, liances Between Statesmen.
Chicago, Jan. 29,—The response of
general Edward S. Bragg, commander
of the Iron Brigade of the Army of the
ZE’otomac, to the toast, “The Army of
the Potomac,” created a stir at the
‘ banquet of the Western Society of the
Army of the Potomac at the Sherman
Eouse, Thursday night. .1
“I am as thoroughly reconstructed as
a man ought to be,” said General
Bragg, “but it makes my flesh cringe
to see recommendations to Federal of-
fice based upon the prowess shown in
endeavors to tear down the Govern-u
ment. It does not come with a good
grace to me in my cynical turn of
mind, to be instructed in the construc-
tion of the organic law of the nation,
the traditions of 1‘ 5 people and the
proper legislation 9 be enacted to
marry 'out the doctrine of the Govern-
ment as it was when our fathers gave
it to us, from statesmen inflated with
glory from a desperate attempt to de-
stroy the whole nation.
“Sometimes I have almost imagined
that: there ‘might be re-enacted in the
history of America. the old wooden
horse fable of the plains of Troy. When
i see a. statesman from the South and
axstatesman from the North in unholy
alliance—and from entirely different
motiveséto ‘break through the tradi-
tions of government, it would almost
seem to me that one was actuated by a
desire to load the national stomach
with a quantity of food it could not as—
similate with cutthroats and robbers,
negroes and Indians, half. blood, quar-
ter blood, full blood and some Spanish,
and thereby weaken and destroy what
powder and bullet failed to do.”
FITZ AND CORBETT MUST SPEAK
3r McCoy Will Claim the Championship
and Meet All Comers.
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 29.—In a letter tc
like Courier, Norman Selby (Kid Mc-
Coy) says that unless Fitsimmons and.
chrbett cover his money within six
1reeks from Jan. 25 he will claim the
heavy-weight championship and de-
fend it against all comers as fast as
they come._ This will mean that Mc-
my will have to battle with Maher,
Choynski and a host of other shining
fights.
It is known that Maker is ready at
any time to cover any money of' Me-
Coy’s and is very anxious to show the
public that he is still in fighting trim.
Elioynski is also desirous of a battle
[with the Kid and will not let a chance
dip by what would place an opportun—
fly in his hands.
“Whether Fitzsimmons and Corbett
will notice‘the challenge is doubtful.
8 they already have decided to deal
only with themselves and thence

”Whitehall homstead.

How Fifty Thousand Li-‘le's
Were Last That Might
Have Been saved.
\Iore than a hundred thousand 'die
annuallv of consumption in the United
States, and a careful classification has
revealed the startling fact that fully
fifty thousand of these cases are caused
by cat-arih in the head. and had no
known connection with heredita1‘3
cases. A large share of these cases
might have zbeen cured. Many of
those aiflict-ed with this terrible dis-
ea so were in the morning of life, and
their young hearts, now cold in con—
sumptive' s grave, struggled hard
against the enemy that laid them 1011‘.
Qatari h is a discharge of fluid form the
Schneiderian membrane, which lines
the nasal fossae and extends to the
diil'ei‘eut cavities connecting with the
nose. S1 mptoms of this disease are
as follows: In most cases, after a suc-
cession of colds, there is noticed an
increased discharge from the nOSe. and
especiall3 into the throat during the
night, and there may be at first, or if
not. there is sooner or later, more or
less pain experienced 111 the nose, fore-
head, cheeks and eyes. Generally, if
the disease be not. arrested, the dis-
_'cha1‘ge becomes offensive, the sense of
smell is gradually impaired, and in
some cases finally lost; the pain in the
forehead increases, or becomes more
constant and distressing, the eyes be-
come weak, watery and painful: the
sight becomes more 01‘ less impaired; a
constant haw king 01‘ spitting \becomes
necessa13 to clean the throat, a t1ouble-
some cough supei venes, and if the dis-
ease continues. perhaps deafness, dizzi-
ness and v a1 ious other unpleasant
symptoms are liable to arise.
At any stage in this disease Califor-
nia Catarrh Cure 11 ill arrest its pro-
guess and efiecting positive and perma-
neut cure, save the sufferer from a con-
sumptive’ s grave. It is the new anti-
septic treatment b3 the only scientific
method, is safe sure, and immediately
effective. Its success is prov ed by hun-

INVISIBLE WARSHIF’S OF FRANCE.
(Tovm‘ed With 3 Composition They Can’t
Be Seen Even “'ith a Searchlight.
France, it is admitted by naval a11-
thorities of other nations, is in posses-
sion now of the most mysterious but
most potent agent yet devised by sci-
ence for making terrible the Inaval
warfare of the future.
A Farm inventor'has devised a chem-
ical composition which, applied to any
solid substance, will make it invisible
at night, even under the glare of the
most powerful electric searchlight.
Repeated trials were made during
the protracted naval manoeuvres off
Brest of the working of the “invisible
paint.” ~
Torpedo boat No. 61—one of the
most formidable in the French torpedo
fleet was told off to assume the role
of a hostile craft endeavoring to make
its way into the harbor past the ves-
sels of the defending squadron, which
included the most powerful men-of-
war to the French service, nearly all
of them equipped with tremendous
searchlights. '
The trial was startlingly successful.
The torpedo boat succeeded in travers-
ing the entire reach of water patrolled
by the. guarding warships, and, though
covered again and again by the glaring
lights of vessel after vessel, made its
.way into port, and three hours after
the beginning of the manoeuvre was
safely at anchor OR the town. —An-

OVER-HEAD CHECK REIN.
Causes the Horse Much Sufl'ering~
Europeans Wlll) 0!; Have It.
John P. Haines, of New York, Presi4
dent of TheiAmerican Society: for the
Prevention of Cruelty to animals says:
“I regard the use of the over—head
check rein, Kemble 01‘ Jackson rein,
as brutal and unnecessary, but I am
happy to say that the use of it is rapid-
ly going out of fashion, a large per-
centage of the horses in New York City
being driven to-day without check
reins.
This bit draws the mouth open, is
constantly cutting against the upper
part of the mouth, and being short and
It
thin, is a constant cause of uneasiness
and suffering.
The over-strained, unnatural po-
sition proves at once to an artistic eye
the absurdity of such artificial aids.
It has been impossible to introduce
this check rein in Europe, 'and it would
not be tolerated on account of its in-
terfering with the natural, free move-
ment of the neck, and placing a
straight, jerking line too much in evi-
dence. .
Verily, the American people have
shown an “astonishing lack of taste
by the adoption of this Over- head
check, and an astonishing lack of
heart.
Veterinary surgeons declare that half
at least,.of their occupation would be
gone if over-head and other , check
reins were abolished.
Nothing to ‘Wo'rk On.
“Fellows, I tried to get that bloom-
ing mind-readah, don’t you know, to
come up to the club some evening and
give us one of his deuced queeah enter-
tainments. By Jove, he said he
couldn’t come.”
“Did he have any reason, dea-h boy ?"
“Why, he said he couldn’t make a
success of his efforts Where there
wasn’t any material to work on.”
“I wonder what the deuce ‘he meant
by that ?”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. '
